On the 15th, a 23-year-old worker at a bread dough factory affiliated with SPC was caught in a sandwich sauce mixing machine and died.

The worker who died at the time of the accident got caught in a machine while working alone while his colleague was away.

However, it was confirmed that the mixing machine did not have a cover or safety device to prevent personnel from entering.

Today was the day that a worker who loved bread, who was just 23 years old, left for heaven forever.

SPC issued an apology in the name of Chairman Heo Young-in and promised that it would do its best to identify the cause of the accident and take follow-up measures by diligently participating in the investigation by the authorities.

"I will do my best to wipe away the tears of the bereaved family and to help them stand up from their grief," he added

.

However, Paris Baguette bread was included in the condolence goods sent by SPC to the mortuary of this bakery worker.

At first, the bereaved families could not check it because it was mixed with other disposable boxes, but later noticed when they saw each mourner holding a piece of bread in their hands.

The bereaved family protested loudly, "How can I give cream bread to mourners as a gift in return when ㅇㅇ died while making this? Is this something people do?", but SPC said that they did not remove the bread.

SPC's explanation is as follows.

It is said that it was only provided because it was originally one of the list of funeral supplies provided to employees.

As it is a bread making company, 200 boxes of cream bread and red bean bread have been provided for funeral goods.

However, if the bereaved family doesn't want it, it's a 'human duty' that shouldn't have been done.

How can 'bread' be simply delicious and sweet bread in the life of this worker's family?

Thinking of my daughter and nephew, the moment I saw the cream bread, my bankruptcy would have collapsed.

The company's explanation is difficult.


Thinking of 'minimal humanity'

President Yoon Seok-yeol also mentioned this accident today (20th).

He said, "We live in the same society, but the society should roll with minimal consideration to each other as business owners and workers as human beings."

Measures beyond regret must be prepared.

Mountain ashes are all over the place to the point of being familiar.

The excuses of the companies in the accident are similar.

Although there was a safety manual, it is said that the worker suffered an injury while working alone at that time, or, in more cases, the worker did not follow the safety rules.

The minimum consideration mentioned by the president will start with workers, business owners, and government authorities working together to come up with meticulous measures to prevent an accident like this from happening again.

Simply leaving the safety of each worker to chance cannot guarantee anyone's safety.
